FINISHED AND UNFINISHED

My week has been full of projects, some finished and some just begun:

I've been painting the living room wall by wall to make it less daunting, and this is the biggest of all.  I used it as a canvas to leave a message for Mark when I was in the early stages of priming.

This is my version of a very minor plastering job.  Since reading some detailed instructions, I've discovered that my process was a little unorthodox . . . but I think it'll work.

This box, once used to store silverware, was given to me free by an odd, sweet antiques dealer.  I've gutted it and have plans to give it a new purpose in the future.

The shelves in the living room are completely painted, and I'm following the advice of strangers (who seem to know their stuff) and waiting thirty days to put anything on them.  And the suspense is killing me.
